How many more times is a ball going to be flashed across the 6 yard/pen spot without Salech there , we are creating chances but Salech in this league is crap , got to be a better free agent out there ffs .

I agree, Wez. Been saying that for a while! I don’t doubt his hard work off the ball, but he’s our main (only?) striker, and should be getting in at every opportunity! Currently, he’s making some very good crosses look poor!:ayatollah:

Not a crap player, not in form true, but have a look how many goals he scored when last in championship in a relegation side and goal to games ratio.

He's not the same player as he was back then, he's lost something since his injury.

We've scored enough this season the issue is at the back, BBM needs to come up with something. Try Joel Colwill at 6 or play two infront of the back four it doesn't matter how many we score if we continue to concede as many as we have done

I agree about the problem being at the back but there's not enough protection in front of the back four.

We cannot keep leaking two goals every game.

We are so slow at getting forward, we get to the edge of the box then pass back and across the back four, we allow teams to get back and then setup their blocks.

Such a frustrating game to watch.

Moylan though I enjoy watching him play.

Once either Lawlor/Chambers/Fish are back id move Bielik there. I know he's said he was signed to play centre back but for me, both him and Chambers would be a better option than Robertson.

Lawlor is a huge miss in general. We are too slow moving the ball and he's brilliant at winning a tackle and getting straight on the front foot

One of the main problems is our Defence as well Wez, time and time again we concede Sloppy goals

Moylan needs to be more central not out wide scanol id play him on the wing hes quick and he can defend when needed we also need more movement final third sam issue as last year when teams sat deep in defensive block we struggled to break them down ,this time around now we seem to easily give a sloppy pass away or get caught on ball got away with it last year not this year most of teams will punish us now and thats what is happening
